Nothing major going on in this photo, just an adorable look at Matilda Ledger and mother Michelle Williams.

Mother and daughter are strolling through Brooklyn together, which is reportedly a favorite pastime of the pair.

Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze, who were recently spotted getting cozy in Brooklyn, have taken their relationship bicoastal.

The actress and the director shared an intimate dinner at Little Dom's in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood on August 2.

According to a fellow diner, Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze started off their late-night meal sitting across from each other.

"During dinner they would lean in and kiss each other over the table," the diner says.

By the end of the meal, Michelle Williams had hopped into Spike Jonze's lap and the pair were smooching, according to onlooker.

Jonze, the ex-husband of Sofia Coppola, produced Williams' film Synecdoche, New York. Williams is the former fiance of the late Heath Ledger.

At a Brooklyn deli, the director "had his arm around [Williams] and kissed her on the cheeks, then on the lips," witnesses reported recently.

Yesterday afternoon, Michelle Williams pushed sleeping daughter Matilda through Brooklyn, reportedly on their way to the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Somewhere, Heath Ledger is looking over his ex-wife and daughter, smiling.

Michelle Williams has spoken out publicly for the first time since her ex-fiance, Heath Ledger, tragically passed away in his apartment January 22.

Williams and Ledger co-starred in Brokeback Mountain (2005), which is how they met. They have a daughter named Matilda Rose. The entire industry is mourning Ledger, but Michelle is taking Heath's (still unexplained) death hardest of all.

Michelle Williams, 27, issued the following statement ...

"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I continue to watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."

So sweet, and so sad that Heath Ledger is gone.

Heath Ledger's battle with alcohol and drugs was so bad that now ex-fiancee Michelle Williams tried to get him to enter rehab.

For three years, Williams witnessed the gifted actor's use of alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, heroin and "a variety of pills."

In March 2006 â€" just weeks after the couple walked the Oscars red carpet - and when their daughter Matilda was only five months old - Michelle Williams drove Heath Ledger to Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, Calif.

Heath Ledger pledged to clean up, but refused to check in.

Ledger died at the age of 28 after being found alone in his apartment on January 22. So far, the investigation into his death has been inconclusive, and it has even been theorized that he may have died of natural causes.

Just as Bill Rancic and Giuliana DePandi were getting married - as were Usher and Tameka Foster for a second time - another famous twosome was calling it quits.

A source close to the couple tells Us Weekly confirms that Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams "quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago."

Despite seeming like one of the healthier Hollywood couples, these two "had been rocky recently. They tried very hard to make it work but finally decided to separate. They just grew apart," reported the insider.

Ledger and Williams "have a beautiful daughter and they are both committed to being great parents," a source says. Still, like Spencer Pratt and Brody Jenner, this pair has broken up.

You don't hear too much about Michelle Williams these days. Maybe that's a good thing. The former Dawson's Creek star seems content to stay out of the spotlight, chilling with Heath Ledger and their daughter, Matilda.

Thus, when we came across these pictures today, we were somewhat taken aback by the actress' cuteness. So we present to you these recent pics of Michelle. We know, we know. It's not as interesting to read about as Jessica Smith getting arrested... or as lewd as the Kim Kardashian sex tape stills.

But that's okay, because Michelle Williams is a cutie:

And this all took place at the same event! A gala at New York City's Whitney Museum, naturally.

Let's start with everyone's favorite Uma. Thurman wouldn't leave hotelier beau Andre Balazs's side while posing for photos throughout the evening. The couple got cuddly for photographers, and when Thurman was asked to pose alone, she said: "I'm not solo so I'm not standing solo."

Yup, Uma and Andre were more attached than Rumer Willis to Lindsay Lohan.

Meanwhile, Michelle Williams was interview by People magazine at the afterparty. She was asked if her and Heath Ledger planned to instill an appreciation for at in baby Matilda.

"Well, where we live we have a lot of art on the wall, and we have a lot of sophisticated things in the nursery," Williams said. "But we try to keep it real and child-friendly, but with stuff that will last a lifetime."

Finally, the Idiot of the Night award went to ex-Saturday Night Live star and unfunny man, Jimmy Fallon.

He actually showed up wearing a Paul McCartney button and touting: He's the best. He's the one and only. "He's my man. He's my favorite. Yeah, I love Paul. I've got to support him."

That's like supporting Brangelina in its fight against gay marriage critics. Which other side would you take, Jimmy?!?

McCartney is filing from a divorce from a money hungry former call girl. There's a reason you haven't seen any Heather Mills buttons around.

Instead of treating the revered ex-Beatle like a charity case and exploiting his situation for personal attention, try not laughing at your own jokes for a change, Fallon.

Tell us, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, how do you really feel about the paparazzi?

We can't read that sign Heath is holding up, but the dueling middle-finger salute H&M are serving up means it probably ain't positive. He's probably not being a Joker, one could say. Clank. Anyway, the two were on a Mexican vacation recently, and proudly shared their thoughts with a lucky camera man who caught their eye.

This isn't the first bad encounter the Oscar-nominated Brokeback Mountain star has had with the paparazzi. Back in June, Heath's dad told Australia's Daily Telegraph that the paparazzi was the reason the actor sold his house and moved to the U.S. Why, we're not sure -- it's not as if the great U.S. of A. is free of tabloids... or sites like this. Thankfully!
